Composition containing tea extract
The present invention relates to the inhibition of the formation of N-nitrosamines in nitrite cured food products, 5 more particularly to compositions comprising a nitrite cured food products and certain tea extracts obtained by the extraction of tea leaves at temperatures of at least
Nitrates and nitrites have been used for a long time in the preservation of foods and even now nitrites are the most effective agents in preventing Botulinum in cured meats. However, nitrites react with secondary amines to form N-nitrosamines which are considered as potential car-15 cinogens to consumers. International concern over the presence of nitroso compounds in foods and their formation within the alimentary system and in other parts of the environment has led not only to increasing restrictions on the use of nitrates and nitrites for food preservation 2 0 but also to the search for nitrite substitutes or compounds which would inhibit the formation of N-nitrosamines. The search for nitrite substitutes has not yet been very successful but substances such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a-tocopherol (Vitamin E) and plant phenolics have been 25 described as blocking agents to inhibit N-nitrosamine formation in cured meats.
However, a disadvantage of Vitamin C is that it is not entirely heat stable at cooking temperatures as high as 30 180°C and thus loses its activity during cooking at such temperatures. In addition, a disadvantage of vitamin E is that it is not water-soluble and it is difficult to apply to cured meat in the curing brine.

We have found, surprisingly, that in the aqueous extraction

of black tea leaves at temperatures from 120°C to 210°C, certain extracts are formed which have not only superior N-nitrosamine inhibiting activity to systems containing plant phenolics described in the literature but also have advantages over Vitamin C and Vitamin E in that they are heat stable at 180°C and extremely water soluble respectively. In addition, as described in our co-pending New Zealand
Patent Application Serial No.210182 , the tea extracts have excellent antioxidant activity.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a composition comprising a nitrite cured food product and an extract formed by the aqueous extraction of black tea leaves in a process which includes a treatment at a temperature from 120°C to 210°C, the amount of extract being such that the content of tea solids present is from 0.005% to 1.5% by weight based on the weight of food, said extract containing at least 5% by weight of polyphenols based on the weight of tea solids.
The present invention also provides a process for inhibiting the formation of N-nitrosamines in nitrite cured food products which comprises treating the food product with a nitrite curing mix and with an Extract formed by the aqueous extraction of black tea leaves in a process which includes a treatment at a temperature from 120°C to 210°C, the amount of extract being such that the content of tea solids present is from 0.005% to 1.5% by weight based on the weight of food, said extract containing at least 5% by weight of polyphenols based on the weight of tea solids.
Conveniently, the tea extract is added to the nitrite curing mix before the curing process.
2 1230
Food materials which may be treated in accordance with the present invention are, for example,-meat products such as bacon, ham, corned beef and pepperoni sausage.
Instant tea is routinely prepared by the hot water extraction of tea leaves, for example, as described in World Coffee and Tea, April 1972, pages 54-57, "The practice of instant tea manufacture". In the present invention, similar extraction conditions used in instant tea manufacture are 10 followed wherein at least part of the extraction of the tea leaves is carried out at a temperature of at least 120°C to obtain the tea extracts which are excellent inhibitors of the formation of N-nitrosamines in nitrite cured food products. In addition to these extracts, the spent 15 tea leaves or residues remaining after extraction, and the instant tea powder are also excellent inhibitors. For convenience, the word "extract" used in this invention includes the instant tea powder, the spent tea leaves and residues after extraction. The concentrated extracts 20 containing up to 15% tea solids, especially from 4% to 10% tea solids have especially good inhibiting activity.
In one particular process of making tea extract with excellent activity for inhibiting the formation of
N-nitrosamines in nitrite cured food products, black tea leaves are extracted at a temperature from 80°C to 130°C to give an initial extract (Fraction I). The residual leaves are extracted at a temperature from 120°C to 210°C and centrifuged to give a second extract (Fraction 30 II). Fraction I and Fraction II are combined and concentrated to give an approximately 5-10% tea concentrate which is cooled and the insoluble tannins separated therefrom to give a water soluble tea liquor (Fraction III). All fractions are further concentrated and dried. Prefe-35 rably the tea leaves are extracted at a temperature from

100°C to 125°C and especially from. 105°C to 120°C, for a period from 10 minutes to 60 minutes to give the initial extract. The residual tea leaves are then milled, slurried and extracted a second time, conveniently for a period 5 from 5 to 60 minutes, preferably from 20 to 40 minutes, at a temperature from 130°C to 210°C preferably from 145°C to 195°C more preferably from 160°C to 185°C, and especially from 165°C to 180°C. Advantageously, the extraction at the higher temperatures is carried out under pressure. After 10 the second extraction the tea residue is removed e.g. by centrifugation to yield Fraction II. In this process, Fraction II has especially good N-nitrosamine inhibiting activity.
Excellent N-nitrosamine inhibiting activity is obtained when the amount of polyphenols is at least 6% by weight and preferably at least 8% by weight based on the weight of tea solids. Preferably the aqueous extract contains from 4% to 10% tea solids based on the weight of the extract
The major phenolic constituents of the tea solids and the amounts of each usually present in the extracts are gallic acid (0.05 to 1.5%) epicatechin (0.01 to 0.5%), catechin (0.01 to 0.6%), epigallocatechin (0.01 to 0.75%), epicate-25 chin gallate (0.01 to 1.00%) and epigallocatechin gallate (0.01 to 1 .5%) , all the amounts being given as percentages by weight based on the weight of tea solids.
The amount of extract present in the food composition of 30 the present invention is conveniently such that the tea solids content is from 0.008 to 1.00% by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 0.75% and especially from 0.02 to 0.5% by weight based on the weight of food.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the tea extracts
• A
2 1230
especially Fraction II, may be further extracted with a water-immiscible organic solvent capable of extracting at least a part of the polyphenols from the extracts, for example, by partitioning. Examples of such solvents are 5 petroleum ether, pentane, diethyl ether, hexane, ethyl propionate, ethyl acetate, methyl iso-butyl ketone or halogenated hydrocarbons, such as Freons. The extracted polyphenols may then be separated, for example, by removal of the solvent by rotary evaporation, and reconstituted with 10 water and freeze-dried. Such polyphenol extracts also have significant N-nitrosamine inhibiting activity.
The following examples further illustrate the present invention.
Example 1
o
Black tea leaves were extracted at a temperature between 110°C and 120°C for 30 minutes to give Fraction I. The 20 residual tea leaves were milled, slurried and then extracted at 190°C and a pressure of 11 bars for a further 30 minutes. This slurry was centrifuged and the supernatant was recovered as Fraction II.
A first sample of ham was nitrite cured in the standard manner and used as a control. A second sample of ham was cured similarly except that an amount of Fraction II was added to the nitrite curing mix so that the proportion of tea solids present in the second sample of cured ham 30 was 2500 ppm (0.25%). The nitrite cured ham treated with
Fraction II and the control nitrite cured ham were analysed for N-nitrosamine by GC-TEA (Thermal energy analyser). The results of the analyses are indicated in Table I.

Table I clearly demonstrates that the aqueous extract of tea (Fraction II) inhibited the formation of more than 90% of the N-nitrosamines in the cured ham.
Example 2
A sample of Fraction II formed in the process described in Example 1 was made into a 3% aqueous solution to which were added two volumes of ethyl acetate to form two 20 immiscible layers. The organic layer was collected and the procedure of extraction was repeated twice. The pooled organic layer was rotary evaporated and the residue freeze dried to give Fraction IIA. The yield was 9%.
A sample of ham was nitrite cured in a similar manner to that described in Example 1 for the ham treated with Fraction II but in which, instead of Fraction II, an amount of Fraction IIA was added to the nitrite curing mix so that the proportion of tea solids present in the resul-30 tant cured ham was 250 ppm (0.025%). The nitrite cured ham treated with Fraction IIA was analysed for N-nitrosamine by GC-TEA (thermal energy analyser), The results of the analyses together with the results for the control sample as described in Example 1 are given in Table II.
